 * Dear Gudio,
 * we have an archive page for past events. There and only there, we like to show
   a summary of the event description. I don’t want to use the summary option in
   the generell settings because our regular event page ( `<li>https://gewerkschaftslinke.
   hamburg/veranstaltungen/</li>`
    ) shows the full text.
 * Thank you for your great plugin!
    Best regards Martin

 * Hi Martin,
 * I might add a shortcode attribute for that so user can set this for each event
   list separately.
 * But I’m not planning an update anytime soon, quite busy with other things right
   now.

 * ps. have added tag “modlook” to this thread because your text / code broke layout
   of the page 😉

 * Yeah, using `<li>` in posts without code tags or wrapping list tags does weird
   things 🙂 Fixed.
